The Adaptive Schools Foundation and Advanced Seminars present a productive, practical set of ideas and tools for developing collaborative groups in becoming effective and better equipped to resolve complex issues around student learning. The work of the Adaptive Schools Seminars is to develop the resources and capacities of the organization and of individuals to cohesively respond to the changing needs of students and society. The training not only explores what makes teams effective, but how to develop skills as facilitators and informed group members in informal and formal settings, in small and large groups. It takes participants beyond the idea of professional learning communities to the actual implementation, describing specific ways to weave the collaborative fabric of a faculty, develop group member skills, and acquire the principles and understandings to engage in a continuous cycle of team and individual improvement. Adaptive Schools is the “how” of professional learning communities: how to behave in groups, how to lead them, and how to facilitate them for improved leading, teaching, and learning.

In the four-day Adaptive Schools Foundation Seminar, participates will develop:

An increased capacity to initiate, develop and sustain high functioning groups

New lenses for diagnosing the stages and phases of group development

An expanded repertoire of practical facilitation tools

Understandings of when and how to engage groups in dialogue and discussion, the limitations, forms and values of each

Skills to move groups beyond consensus to common focus

Ways to value and use dissension, argument and conflict

Strategies for keeping group members on track, on topic, energized and resourceful

Facilitator:Mary Bouley is an experienced educator and consultant with expertise in coaching, mentoring, project management, and professional development. She is a Cognitive CoachingSM Training Associate and Adaptive SchoolsSM Agency Trainer for the Arizona K12 Center.
